"2024 Solar Eclipse: Shifting Path and Historic Event Forecast"

The path of totality for the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8 has shifted slightly north, affecting communities in Central New York such as Marietta, Navarino, and Owasco, which were previously thought to be in totality but are now out. This change is due to astronomers discovering that the sun is slightly bigger than previously accepted, leading to the southern edge of totality shifting 2,000 feet farther north than previously thought. The update also affects parts of DeWitt, Nedrow, and Fayetteville, with the southern edge passing across Lyndon Corners.
